[QUOTE="Rustler9, post: 44338, member: 440"] We try to breed our Longhorn heifers at 14-15 months old. However I did have an eleven month old heifer get bred and have a great calf at twenty months old. This was one of my best heifers and I noticed that she started to look like she was springing-at first it was hard to tell because she was already well conditioned. Then I remembered that one of my young bulls had somehow made his way over the fence into the heifer pasture a few months back. This happened one night and I quickly put him back where he belonged first thing in the morning when I found him. No one had shown any signs of heat and weren't old enough to breed yet. But I guess she must have come in, got bred and that was it. I'm glad she turned out fine but I was pretty upset at first because of her age. I don't advise breeding at that age. Sorry to ramble on.
